Practical Observations.

1. Unbelief is due to the heart rather than to the mind. The unbeliever chooses unbelief. Christ said of the Jews: Ye will not believe.

2. Sonship implies the reproduction of the Father's will in the Son. If we are the children of God our will must be lost,
in his. Every child of God will pray, “Thy will be done.”

3. The prophets, John, the Father himself, his own sinless life, his divine wisdom, his superhuman power, and his ability
to transform the souls of men and to give them a new life, all bear witness that Jesus is the Son of God.

4. Christ is our life. He has power to quicken the soul into new life, to make it a new creature and to give it a deathless
existence. This stupendous and beneficent result is due to “hearing his voice.” “They that hear shall live.” They that “have
ears and hear not” will remain in death. Every “one that hath ears let him hear.”
